Gritting his teeth, he looked at Yun Miao and said, "Are you really willing to plead with the Emperor on my behalf?"
Yun Shengzhi also showed a look of surprise: "Yes! Chun'er, if you can come forward about this matter, the emperor will definitely relent. After all, this is a private matter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Don't let it become a joke in the palace. For the sake of father, give your aunt a chance to reform."
At first, he tried to curry favor with this daughter because of the eldest prince.
Now, it is because the emperor is his backer.
He could only be gentle and kind. In the past, he would not have been so cautious with a woman.
Yun Miao's attitude towards Yun Shengzhi was also unexpected. Even if Miao Fengxian had gone too far, she still had feelings for him. Her partial attitude reminded her of Su Fan, who had been so carelessly disposed of by the corpse. Her eyes grew even colder. "Chun'er naturally knows that the Xiangfu's prosperity and adversity are all shared. If things get too ugly, the outside world will blame me, a junior, for being too ruthless. Therefore, Chun'er is willing to give Auntie a chance and let this matter go lightly. However... Chun'er has a condition."
"You say." Yun Shengzhi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Yun Miao was so sensible.
Yun Miao smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "I heard in the mansion that the eldest lady passed away not long before Chun'er left the mansion. Although Chun'er had no feelings for her, she was indeed a pitiful person after hearing some of her deeds. The wife is always the wife. Daddy, please don't let the outside world think that you favor the concubine over the wife."
Yun Shengzhi was also smart and reacted instantly. His complicated gaze fell on Miao Fengxian: "Confiscate the Miao family's leadership and put them under house arrest for three months."
When Miao Fengxian heard this, she felt disheartened.
The power to lead the family that I had finally obtained was lost so quickly.
However, compared to being expelled from the palace, this is already a relatively light punishment.
Moreover, as long as she stayed in the mansion, she still had a chance to take everything back.
"Chun'er, do you think this is okay?" Yun Shengzhi asked Yun Miao.
Yun Miao raised an eyebrow and said, "The position of head of the household is vacant, and Daddy doesn't have the time to manage the harem. Why not let Chun'er take over temporarily?"
"You are a junior and an illegitimate daughter. How can you be qualified to be in charge of the affairs of the harem?" Miao Fengxian widened her eyes.
Yun Miao immediately put on an aggrieved expression, as if she had been slandered. "Auntie, Chun'er didn't volunteer for the title of illegitimate daughter. It was for Daddy's sake that Chun'er was willing to give it up. How could Auntie use this as an excuse to look down on Chun'er..."
As expected, green tea still needs to be balanced by green tea.
Yun Shengzhi had originally felt that Yun Miao's appointment as head of the household was inappropriate, but after hearing her words, he suddenly felt a pang of guilt, and relented, saying, "Let Chun'er take charge of the affairs of the harem! As for the title of illegitimate daughter, now that she has returned to Yandu, it's legitimate, and with the Emperor's protection, Chun'er's status is no different from that of a legitimate daughter. From now on, anyone in the mansion who dares to criticize her will be expelled."
This means that Yun Miaosheng will be given the title of legitimate daughter directly.
Miao Fengxian bit her gums until they were broken, but she could only wipe away her tears and retreat, agreeing weakly: "...Yes, Master..."
At this time, going against Yun Shengzhi would only make him disgusted.
This man always responds to soft tactics rather than harsh ones.
"You are still a criminal. The purpose of confining you to your home for three months is to let you reflect on yourself. Now the Prime Minister's Mansion keeps making all kinds of jokes, and I can't even raise my head in the court. Fortunately, I have Chun'er, who won some face for me with the Emperor. When I went to court today, the Emperor was still asking how Chun'er's affairs were going. It seems that he really cares about Chun'er. If Chun'er works harder on her future marriage, with the Emperor's favor, she may really be able to win the heart of the Third Prince." Yun Shengzhi recalled the scene at the banquet when Mu Qianqiu announced Yun Miao as the Third Prince's Consort. It still feels like a dream.
Yun Miao also found it funny that Yun Shengzhi had not forgotten his own value at all.
He immediately said, "The Third Prince came to Shengbaoju a few days ago out of love. People are all talking about this mysterious Third Princess. It is said that she is so beautiful that Lord Zhou has spent a fortune, even at the cost of offending the Third Prince. Father, please don't try to match my daughter with the Third Prince. Last time, I saw that the Third Prince was so eager to cut ties with my daughter. I'm afraid he is worried that his beautiful wife will misunderstand. The position of the Third Princess has probably been chosen long ago, and it is not my daughter's turn."
"This..." Yun Sheng's face flashed with disappointment when he heard it.
He had naturally heard the rumors that the Third Prince had a mistress hidden in his golden house, and that the woman was the one who cured the Third Prince's leg disease. With such deep affection and love, it was indeed impossible to poach her.
"Then the eldest prince is not impossible..." Yun Shengzhi said after hesitating for a moment.
"Although my daughter is only an illegitimate daughter now, there is absolutely no way she will become the eldest prince's concubine. Moreover, this man is foolish and obsessed with women, with new lovers constantly in the harem. Father, are you trying to push your daughter into the fire?" Yun Miao reminded Yun Shengzhi, "The Second Princess is now our Yun family's, and father's power is unmatched in the court. It is better not to focus on marriage, lest you offend the Second Prince and lose more than you gain."
Yun Miao felt that the best thing Yun Mian had done was to help her solve the problem of having to arrange a royal marriage to satisfy Yun Shengzhi's selfish desire.
Although she likes Mulansheng, she doesn't like to force him into anything.
Getting married is a natural thing, so it’s better to let it take its course.
Yun Shengzhi was speechless and could only give up: "Alright then, we can talk about it later when Chun'er finds someone she likes." Then his eyes fell on Miao Fengxian and Yun Xian: "You two should reflect on your mistakes for a while, and we'll talk after the storm has died down."
"Yes... Master (Daddy)"
Yun Xian helped Miao Fengxian back away, and gave Yun Miao a vicious look as she left.
Yun Miao disagreed. Within a few days of coming to the mansion, the three of them were disabled, had a bad reputation, and their power was hollowed out. Now they still couldn't see the situation clearly.
Well, it’s just the beginning. After all, these mice won’t give up!
Luo Mansion.
Since moving to the capital, Mr. Luo's status has risen and he has made the acquaintance of many dignitaries.
The Luo family is now more prosperous thanks to Luo Ning'er than when they were in Haicheng.
Luo Ning'er, who rarely returned home after marrying the eldest prince, returned home crying today.
"Mother, grandmother, what do you think we should do? It's only been a short time now, and before that, the eldest prince and I were inseparable. But after he went to Yangxuan Teahouse and fell in love with that vixen, he ignored me. Now, that vixen has become the illegitimate daughter of the prime minister's family, and she is enjoying great fame and fortune. The eldest prince even publicly wanted to marry an illegitimate daughter to be his principal wife." Luo Ning'er sat in her living room, wiping her tears.
Madam Luo, sitting in the seat of honor, also had a frown on her face. "Ning'er, we are just commoners. Being able to enter the palace of the Great Prince and cling to the royal family was something we never dared to think of before. The Great Prince will eventually take a concubine, and you should have been mentally prepared for this a long time ago."
